Communications Program

Curriculum

COMMUNICATION is the key to success in all major professions in the Information Age in which we live. Human communication is, however, a complex process, and effective communication depends on our understanding of the structures and constraints of the process by which messages are transmitted and understood between senders and receivers.

As the world changes strong communication competence is crucial to people's careers and personal lives. The array and availability of technology have changed the communication arena. People are communicating not only with their immediate families, neighbors, and co-workers, but with family members and co- workers globally, creating a new sense of community.

The courses in Communication Studies stress a strong liberal arts training in communication theory and practice. As a major in Communication Studies you will find small classes, which provide maximum interaction between professors and students, and experienced faculty members who enjoy teaching undergraduates.

Faculty

Communication Studies faculty members and their research areas include:

• Michael McFarland, Ph.D., Northwestern University; rhetoric, social movements, public discourse
• Daniel Rossi-Keen, Ph.D., Ohio University; communication ethics, rhetoric of religion, philosophy of communication
• Tara Schuwerk, Ph.D., Arizona State University; intercultural communication, health communication, qualitative methods and social justice
• Rebecca Watts, Ph.D., Texas A&M University; Southern culture, popular culture, political rhetoric, sports culture and communication

Learning by Doing

In addition to your classroom education, you will have exciting opportunities for practical experience outside the classroom. The faculty believes that by facilitating students in making connection between their classroom knowledge and real world applications, we initiate them into the life-long learning process. Consequently, our academic curriculum requires that our majors participate in a minimum of two one-hour applied communication courses in a community setting. In addition, students internships are strongly recommended. Both provide Stetson students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge to a diversity of real life situations.
